Although the actual mechanisms that produce fatigue are unknown, it is thought that changes in biological and psychosocial patterns can influence signs and symptoms of fatigue. These patterns include: Accumulation of metabolites, changes in energy and energy substrates, activity/rest, sleep/wake, disease/treatment, symptoms, oxygenation, changes in regulation/transmission, psychological, and other related patterns, including environmental, social, life events, and host characteristics.

The "Common" Complaint

The most common complaint of patients seeking medical care from general medical practitioners is fatigue or loss of energy. Chronic fatigue (intractable fatigue lasting more than 6 months and not reversed by sleep) is reported by approximately one quarter of all patients seeking medical care.

Fatigue has been in the medical literature for hundreds of years in many forms and indicated by several different historical terms, but it has been only recently that fatigue has been defined and attempts made to determine the extent of fatigue and its possible causes.

Still Learning

Although we now know much more about fatigue, its universal definition remains to be determined. It is thought to be a multi-dimensional sensation with many possible causes. Most people understand fatigue as a loss of energy and inability to perform even simple tasks without exertion.

Since an individual's subjective experience of fatigue provides the most reliable assessment of its progression or reduction, an accurate measurement tool seeks to encompass the various complex modalities associated with fatigue.
